St. Marks Place has a new dessert spot, and thank goodness it doesn't involve pumping sour frozen yogurt under glaring lights. After eating ramen, yakitori, pho, banh mi, pad kee mao, or Korean fried chicken on the block, head downstairs to a more sedate place for your toothsome treats. Spot is a respite from the usual clamor on street level with a minimal industrial-chic vibe of cement floors, raw wood benches, candlelight and boxed sprouts of green grass (a nice change to the space that once housed the ever-perplexing The Iron Fairies store). Pichet Ong (Batch and P*ong) creates these sweet innovations by borrowing from the variety of desserts and ingredients spanning Asia. Items on the menu include sparkly cupcakes like Vanilla Caramel Vietnamese Coffee and Chocolate Green Tea Fruit Jam, artful entrees like Poached Persimmon and White Miso Semifreddo, Jackfruit Cake (made with basil seed, rum toffee and coconut), Chocolate Chip Coconut cookies, and beverages like Hot Ovaltine, Bubble Tea and Homemade Passion Fruit Soda.
